LARA MAIKLEM, author of Mudlarking

In a moment rife with distractions and too much to do, Cathy Haynes has a well-timed antidote. The Fullness of Time is a warm and insightful guide to the many ways, both subtle and vivid, that we can mark the passage of hours, months, and seasons. She shows us that by opening our senses, we can all discover the rich horological abundances in the world around us. What a simple, yet powerful, gift!

I know what time is, St Augustine wrote, until I'm asked to explain it. These days, we might look to physics for an explanation. But if you want to learn how to experience time more fully, you should turn instead to this beautiful book about the ways we measure time with plants and animals, bodies human and celestial. An immersive, mind-shaping read
